How many sockpuppet accounts do they have? How many upvoats can they give themselves? How to downvoats 'confine' BS posts to New? What happens if it is 'simply' ignored?

I've not ever DVed anything on VOAT. I'm very discriminating with my UVs. And I ignore a LOT of BS.

You ask:

"Does anyone think the above legit?"

Legit what? Legit BS? Legit argument? Clearly it doesn't constitute legit argument. Leans toward BS. There's always a little truth in the best of lies. Does it divide? Yes. Does it denigrate? Yes. Does it promote or substantiate Logic or Reason? Not that I can see. Does it fit the 'guidelines' on shillery? Absolutely. Does it call for sticky-type attention? Mmmm... I'm not sure.

The double bind of moderation sucks. Each of us carries a heavy burden. And each of us carries it differently. Concernfagging is a bitch. I get it, though. You all are trying to take care of the less-enlightened while simultaneously allowing (???) controversial/challenging content. Good luck with that -- especially in these days of free speech absolutism and just-waking participants.

"Anti-Q/Anti-Trump psyop..."

Kind of reminds me of Christians -- while claiming to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God -- lamenting the removal of prayer and God from schools (and other places). How is that even possible? The existence and efficacy of Q and the purported Q Team (inarguably) remains to be seen. Either The Team AND POTUS Trump can and will fight this fight . . . or not.

I suppose I should obligatorily declare that I am a "one man show," and am not involved in any conspiracy or psychological operation (i.e. psyop). Just here enjoying the show.

Be well. Best to you and yours.

Thousands.

How to downvoats 'confine' BS posts to New?

They can push anything they want to the front at any time.

What happens if it is 'simply' ignored?

They take more and more until this place is nothing but what they want it to be. No original thoughts because the people that post them have been cowed into silence by manipulated votes.

I'm not here to wax philosophical with you or anyone. This is how things are going to go because I know what happens to subs that just ignore what these shills do.

Really big subs that are reduced to barely double-digit activity because "we can discern what's true and what isn't for ourselves, it's not your job to protect us".

And yet, I could have, and the places would still be thriving.

I don't care if you believe my anecdote, and I don't care if you want to split hairs on what "legit" means.

I will protect this place regardless of you or anyone else's opinions on the subject.

One more thing... If you regret my recent "admission to the fold," feel free to ban me. I don't harbor grudges. Wouldn't know what to do with one if I had it.

Another "one more thing" ... Check with puttitout, he can confirm that this is my only account. No sockpuppet. No downvoats. Just me. Honest and outspoken. (or 'outwritten') Putt and I have had some good chats, too.
